Exchanges, Erasmus+, and Study Abroad Opportunities for UCD Students
Learning Abroad Opportunities
Spend anything from a month, trimester or full academic year abroad and in some cases, earn credit that counts towards your UCD degree. Opportunities are available through:
- Exchange & Erasmus+: Study at our Erasmus+ and other partner institutions worldwide without additional tuition fees.
- Erasmus+ BIPs: Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) are short-term international study opportunities within any of the EU member states or associated countries.
- Erasmus+ Traineeships: Gain work experience abroad.
- Outgoing Short-term Mobilities: Usually lasting between 5 days to 3 months and running in the summer, but there are programmes available throughout the year.
UCD also offers other opportunities, through UCD Volunteers Overseas, Erasmus+ ICM, NICE and Universitas 21.
Are you an incoming student who wants to study at UCD for a year or trimester? Visit our incoming Study Abroad and Exchanges pages.
Erasmus Charter for Higher Education
UCD’s current Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) was awarded in December 2020, enabling participation in the Erasmus+ programme 2021-27.
The ECHE, supported by the Erasmus Policy Statement, acts as the quality framework for higher education institutes participating in Erasmus+ activities.
